That first one was excellent (the audiobook narrators were great) so I'll be getting this too!

So I'm trying to limit myself to buying 1 book a month for my shelves so that I can actually polish off my dead-tree trp within a year or so. I think this is also helping me be slightly pickier about which books I'm willing to buy as I've find myself to be a bit more adverse to risking buying a book I might not like.
November was No Life Forsaken and January is a no brainer with Twelve Months coming up.
This month was a bit harder though. I almost landed on The Strength of the Few but Islington but then an author I haven't touched on awhile dropped a book that has me very intrigued. Mark Z Danielewski (of House of Leaves) dropped Tom's Crossing, which appears to be a Western stylized ghost story and the blurb is crazy.
So yeah, I'm a bit excited for this one.

Quote
While folks still like to focus on the crimes that shocked the small city of Orvop, Utah, back in the fall of 1982, not to mention the trials that followed, far more remember the adventure that took place beyond municipal lines in mountains ready to shrug even the bravest from their backs, as one Orvop local would put, with another characterizing the astonishing journey as crazy as it was foolish as it still is just plain beyond imaginin. But them kids went for it anyway.
Not that such daring was entirely unexpected considering how some of those involved included the likes of young Tom Gatestone, already a bit of an Orvop legend, and his friend Kalin March, new to the area, the two of them takin it upon themselves to rescue a couple of neglected horses from the Porch paddocks on Willow and Oak.
Who knows what would have happened if they hadn’t?
For sure no one expected the dead to rise but they did. For sure no one expected the mountain to fall but it did. For sure no one expected an act of courage so great, and likewise so appalling, that it still staggers the heart and mind of anyone who knows anything about the Katanogos massif to say nothing of Pillars Meadow.
As one Orvop high-school teacher would describe that extraordinary feat days before she died: Fer sure, no one expected Kalin March to tell Old Porch: You get what you deserve when you ride with cowards.
